Trapèze

Jean Prouvé, 1950/1954

The Trapèze table by Jean Prouvé owes its name to the trapezoidal shape of the sheet steel legs, which also lends the table its iconic character. Originally designed for the Cité Universitaire in Antony near Paris, the sturdy table is perfectly suited to a wide range of uses in office environments and other public or semi-public spaces, and comes in a choice of two sizes.

Jean Prouvé, who regarded himself as an engineer throughout his lifetime, was both the designer and manufacturer of his product ideas. His unique oeuvre, ranging from a letter opener to door and window fittings, from lighting and furniture to prefabricated houses and modular building systems, encompasses almost anything that is suited to industrial production and construction.
